1. Shake the paint jar and stir the paint with the stirring stick. Then pour some fabric paint onto the paint tray. Load your mini-roller by rolling it over the paint, pressing slightly and making sure the paint gets evenly absorbed into the roller surface. A properly loaded roller should look almost dry, with paint evenly absorbed into it. Not stripy. Take care not to overload your roller! Less paint is better!

2.Make sure the stencil is secured to the frame with the bent down metal tabs. Start stenciling by rolling over the stencil, using light to medium pressure and slowly building paint coverage. Don’t press hard on the roller. Excessive pressure can cause paint seepage under the stencil. Make sure you achieve nice even coverage. If your stenciling looks a little blotchy, roll on a little more paint.

The edges are easier to finish with a stencil brush. Dip the tip of the bristles into the paint and do a few swirls on the tray to make sure the paint gets worked nicely and evenly into the bristles.

3.Bend the metal tabs up on the frame and carefully lift and remove the stencil. The pillow cover now has to dry completely. You can let it dry inside the stenciling frame, or carefully take it out and put in a safe place to dry. You can speed up the drying process by using a hair dryer or a fan.
